From over-the-top productions to the memeifcation of a film, these movies welcome back the summer blockbuster.
This summer has been great for the box office. Movie theaters owe a debt of gratitude to Tom Cruise, who refused to let Paramount Pictures release his magnum opus on streaming services at the height of the pandemic, for the promising return of major blockbuster events.
Everyone and their mothers know how impressive Top Gun: Maverick’s performance at the box office is. Generating around $663 million in the U.S. and over $1.3 billion worldwide placed the movie in seventh for the highest domestic grossing film of all time.
This would have been rare before COVID-19 and almost unimaginable after theaters reopened their doors after the pandemic.
